I am only interested in seeing how Sanders handles Dwight's physicality in the paint. Whether Sanders can defend him one-on-one and whether he can box Dwight out. Or if Dwight will just push him out of the way whenever he wants to and get easy hoop and offensive rebounds.

I am not interested in what Sanders does on the other end ... this matchup is interesting to me just as a gauge for where Sanders is as both a defender / rebounder as a starting center.

I don't understand. Why are none of Kobe, Nash or Dwight on the floor? Why rest them all at the same time? Does D'Antoni not understand how bad his bench is? And the Lakers wonder where their lead went to. Terrible coaching.
